Bosák, Martin ; Zikmundová, Veronika (advisor) ; Oberfalzerová, Alena (referee)
The topic of this thesis are the Mongolian tactics in the Mnogol Empire period. I also describe military strategy of the Mongols and organization of their army in general.

I would like to summarize and systematize knowledge and information from various sources related to the chosen subject, as a basis for further research. With the help of the collected information I will try to portray Mongols differently than common disorganised and wild 'barbarian horde'.

I tried to organize these tactics and describe their usage in detail. In the last part of the thesis I...

Miškaňová, Ľudmila ; Oberfalzerová, Alena (advisor) ; Kapišovská, Veronika (referee)
The significance of horse in the life and culture of the nomadic societies is a well-known fact. A large part of Mongolian oral traditions and folklore is related to horses. But the horse plays an important role in the oral tradition of sedentary peoples of Europe as well.

The aim of the thesis is to outline Mongolian perception of the world and the bond between the Mongol and nature through the description of the relationship between man and horse, which is compared with non-nomadic, sedentary culture of the Eastern Slovakia.

- Galina Wood, 2015 Lahij, the Living Heritage of Azerbaijan This research explores the various aspects of identity pertaining to the traditional, bilin- gual mountainous community of Lahij. Azerbaijan is little known and its minorities are largely under-researched. Previous work done by Russian and Azerbaijani linguists described grammatical features of the Tat language, and SIL-led linguistic field surveys by J. Clifton addressed some sociolinguistic attitudes, yet the Tat people, particularly the Lahij people, remain unknown. This is the first time the Lahij community, which preserved a relict Southwest Iranian language and a unique culture, is a topic of inter-disciplinary research in English language. Resources such as Russian and Azeri literature and Western works dealing with related dis- ciplines and issues (historical, socio-linguistical, anthropological etc.) are discussed, aiming to reach a balanced and informed perspective. To present the nuances and dynamics of the emic (insider) versus etic (outsider) points of view, anthropological methods of participant observation, structured interview and narrative analysis are used. Research was done while residing long term in Azerbaijan, and spending significant amounts of time in Lahij. The sociolinguistic climate of Post-Soviet nation...
